Tennis legend Martina Navratilova was subjected to some nasty comments on Twitter, after she shared an article on the ongoing controversy in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Monday.
‪The article titled 'India's Crackdown on Dissent' was a piece on the sedition charges against student leaders in the university.
India’s Crackdown on Dissent, - is Pratap Bhanu Mehta right or wrong? Does he know what he is talking about? https://t.co/aMOfAWSti5

‪Here are some of Martina's responses.
@pliersnwires I am not supporting violent anything - left or right wing. Hate communists, hate white supremacy jerks etc.

@dvji so we don’t say anything- then you say we don’t care. We say something- you say shut up, you don’t know and we care more. Ok then….

@dvji not giving advice- just posting an article and saying extremism can become violent very easily.

@dvji and these days RW extremism seems on the rise. I could be wrong. And I love India btw- if I didn’t care I wouldn’t speak…
